    Saga continues!! The batteries are not charging I do not think they have charged once since I brought it home. The battery charge meter, well I'm an A hole....... It has never shown a charge.

    MEP-804B - New to me, I have a few questions

    interesting! Fuel to the fire I have nothing here that requires 3 phase, in fact we have nothing here that requires 240V! Even our well pump is 120 I would not ever be using a 3 phase load through that panel Does that matter? I see it looks like the 3rd phase down the middle contacts the...

    FOUND broken exhaust port liner on the Kohler engine. Exhaust port liner split in half? Half of it made its way into the muffler which explains the metal sound I always heard when running and the other half turned sideways and was completely clogging the exhaust port? Could it be that simple...

    Ahhhh so that's what the reply button does....cool So the question now is How many gallons of diesel can I legally haul down the road on a trailer? And how much does it weigh? Red diesel is only 5 miles away from me, our road is more of a 4x4 obstacle course then a road, so I have to be able to...

    So day started off a little rough... but after removing this bus bar I DO NOT need continuity between G and N for my application! And checking all my wiring 10000 times We fired her up, learned how the knobs and protections work, and she was sending proper voltage to the outback system...

    MEP-804B - New to me, I have a few questions

    okay phew, I do not need double the voltage! 120V from Line to N is what I need, thank you for the clarification So to put a load on the third phase I can run a 120V shop heater on L2 and N, that would work awesome! I have a LPG shop heater that we can plug in on the third leg The ground will...

    MEP-804B - New to me, I have a few questions

    One last questions So the 12 bolt voltage panel is set to 208/120 and I understand if I loosen all the bolts and raise it up so the arrow touches it will make 240/416 Should I be set to 240V? Not 208? I will only be using two of the three legs as follows: The outback inverters are...

    MEP-804B - New to me, I have a few questions

    NATCAD SAID: 410 customs. Having three inverters is about having three input ac voltages. I haven't read the manual. You can post a link , and also the relevant section on input voltages and 3 phase. I understand this now! I am intrigued, in the distant future we may very well use all 3 phases...

    MEP-804B - New to me, I have a few questions

    I understand what you are saying If I get into these things we will likely end up with 3-4 of them if you catch my drift So my next purchase may very well be a 803 I tend to overthink things and we pretty much modify everything we drag home in one way or another, why should this be any...
